Two people were killed in a two-vehicle crash early Wednesday morning when an 18-wheeler rear-ended a Ford Mustang on Interstate 37, 13 miles outside of George West.

According to the Department of Public Safety Distric Office report, the 2007 freight liner truck tractor towing a 2010 semi trailer was traveling northbound when it swerved into the shoulder and collided with a 2002 Ford Mustang that was stranded on the side of the road.

Both the driver and the passenger of the Mustang were pronounced dead at the scene.
